I have an Andair fuel pump that I bought at Sun n' Fun several years ago. We just put some fuel in the tanks and wanted to purge the system and test the pump. I put 2 gallons or so in the left wing and selected the left tank on the selector and then hit the pump switch. It made a noise for about 3-4 seconds and then went silent. I flipped the switch off. Flipped it back on and same thing, makes a noise for a few seconds and then stops.
I used a siphon to draw fuel through the system by disconnecting the line that goes to the FI throttle body. Fuel came out just fine so I know the system isn't blocked. All B-nuts are secured so doubtful air is getting in the system.
I have heard of issues with these Andair pumps after sitting for several years but now I can't find any of the threads that discuss the issue and possible solutions.
I left a message with Andair but don't expect to hear back until Monday. Any suggestions?
